WELCOME TO BANGLADESH OLDER DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURAL ASSOCIATION (BODCA)
The traditional values and social status of the old people across the globe has declined. Our beliefs and culture about the old people have deteriorated to a great extent. We now see the old people of our society are often disliked, neglected and overlooked. Elders are seen no longer as bearers of wisdom. Young generations feels old people a burden. Aged people are spending their time in isolation and with mental agony. Aging is inevitable and aging gracefully is a choice.
Today’s old people are self-confident, spirited and decently poised. Most of them do not aspire to make money. They worked hard to earn their social status and provided generous support to their families; struggled enough to establish their children. And for that they do not want to be dependent on any one during their twilight years. They prefer to pass time with a group of people who feel their problems, understand their language and rise up in solving and sharing worries. Old people want a stress free safe heaven. They desire to chat happily and live healthily. Aged people demand love and care like children and healthy emotional companionship sharing for satisfaction.
In the light of above reality, Bangladesh Older Development and Cultural Association (BODCA) has become the requirement of time. BODCA intensely feels that no age is barred for good recreational accomplishments, rather activities undertaken by the old people, help them stay delights and healthy.
The main objective of BODCA is to brand a group of old people who shares common joys and sorrows under one umbrella and offer them a very healthy life, ensuring nitrous food, sound health, arranging number of recreational and physical activities to keep mentally and physically fit so that they can really pass quality time, live peacefully, resourcefully and happily.
